At the UN Open Source Conference, I joined a breakout session on funding open source. 

We discussed tensions between current funding models, sustainability, and incentives with maintainers from Python Software Foundation, Processing Foundation, Linux devs, etc

I brought up crypto...and things got interesting... ↴

ive thought about leveraging crytpo to bring attention to some open source projects i want to do


but i do fear the bad look it might be for some anti-crypto foss folks i guess?


the main thing is, getting distribution at scale is hard

i get it :) negative sentiment doesn’t seem to be at an all time high anymore like during the NFT craze

i think we have to approach anti crypto FOSS people with relentless optimism (which isn’t really scalable lol)

I think for them it should be about abstracting crypto as much as possible using tools like @privy  until a point where they don’t realise it’s crypto anymore.
That’s the next step for me @tipdotmd on a mission to make OSS funding frictionless.
